Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I missed the stick-shift convo!
I learned stick by driving tractors and what-not when I was around 10. So I was driving stick shift cars for about 8 years before I first stalled one starting out. Because of my tractor experience, when I first started driving stick shift cars I made the opposite mistake that most new stick drivers make: I'd give the engine too much gas and take too long letting up the clutch. I'd also use a lot of force shifting gears because many tractors were hard to shift.

My high school girlfriend noticed I was using too much force to shift, so she told me what her dad told her: Move the shifter like you're holding a guy's cock.
The first stick car I owned was my '00 Focus. I loved driving stick except when I'd get stuck in bad traffic jams--my leg would get pretty tired after a few hours of stop-and-go driving. So my current Focus has an automatic--partially because of the traffic jam issues and partially because new automatics get better mileage than a manual transmission.
I also drove a van with a three-on-the-tree manual transmission at a job when I was in high school. It was fun except when it got stuck in third gear and I had to drive it back that way.

Jesse, it is definitely a sign that I need to set up my new transit card. Also I am much calmer now that I have coffee and breakfast.

Tommy. Is there something you want to tell us? Got to the SLC office only to realize I didn't bring my work ID. Now I have to wait for the receptionist to let me in and she isn't here yet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sorry, I didn't notice that.
I know what happened. I hit Return twice to create a new paragraph, but the focus must have been on the Post button.

I was all flustered this morning and totally missed that Jesse is in SOUTH AFRICA.
